Hey liver dance I picked up some of that wlp037 and saw some people say it has high O2 requirements. Did you use your sealed fermentation system on your Belgian mild?
I didn't but I did seal the lid on my bucket. It isn't meant to be a belgian mild it just had a lot of phenol's once transferred, chilling and carbing has also added to them fading but I will use another yeast next time to get a more english flavor
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
